Anyone still smoking?

Question

Hello ladies. So I'm 26weeks pregnant with a baby boy, he is very active and all scans have come back perfect but I can NOT seem to give up smoking. I know it's bad. I've tried patches, gum, inhaler and an e-cigarette but it's just not working. I've cut down from 20 a day to 7. Is anyone else still smoking. Please no harsh comments. Thank You x

Answer

Please ignore these rude comments, I've never smoked a cigarette but I understand it's very hard to quit. It doesn't mean you don't care about your baby or you're putting yourself first. Take it one day at a time, there are ladies out there doing far worse than a cigarette who actually don't care about their baby at all.

Answer

I was a smoker, since the age of 15. As soon as I found out tho I quit but it was not easy, when I felt the urge I would eat sunflower seeds or chew on gum. Maybe that can help you. Good luck tho sometimes I still want a cig lol.

Answer

I'm not a smoker either. But some people don't understand how strong and evil addictions are for some. Try and figure out a way that works for you! Good luck. Anything is possible when you put ur all into it.

Answer

Quit the month we started trying but it doesn't mean I don't miss it! Keep trying to cut back!! You can do this!

Answer

I'm stuck on the same situation as you. Everytime someone tells me all the bad things it stresses me and I want another... Also my husband and mother smoke(I live with them currently) everytime I hear the door it makes me want to go outside. The best advice I can give is don't be hard on yourself and try to avoid your smoking spot. Something that helps me is keeping busy/walk through malls (window shop.)

Answer

Same. I'll be 24 weeks tomorrow. Have cut back from 2 packs a day to 5 a day...going through a very complicated custody battle with my youngest daughter has made it so hard to keep cutting back!

Answer

You are not alone.

Answer

I am also a smoker have been since 13 years of age and I'm the same as you I get judged on it so much but the way I see it is its your child no one else's and there opinion doesn't matter xx

Answer

I feel your pain I've been trying so hard to quit but seems like everytime I get down to one or two a day something happens that stresses me out so bad that I end up smoking  more for a week then I stuggle to cut back down

Answer

I am struggling with quitting smoking too...but my doc says just keep trying to reduce the amt smoked. I am hoping this weekend will be my last weekend as a smoker.
